Characters And Animations

For the first time in history, an actual ninja was captured in the wild, sedated, and then quickly transported to a motion capture studio in order to record its escape attempts. The end result is this Ninja_01 Mocap Pack, after colossal amounts of ninja motion capture and editing. This contains 167 awesome ninja animations on the 4.8 Epic skeleton that are ready to go start kicking ass in your own projects. This contains Idles, Walks, Jogs, Runs, Jumps, Evasions, Punches, Kicks, Recoveries, Multi Level Platforms and Stunts. This is remarkably well-done, and I recommend watching the video!

Materials and FX

Here are 19 beautiful magic particle effects made by Cascade. They include loop and oneshot version particles, hit effect, stab and slash effect, magic sphere, impact effect, and more. Check out the video!

Fade into your surroundings with 151 camouflage patterns built for weapon customization, but usable in a wide variety of circumstances. They're all seamlessly tiling at 1024x1024 resolution, and many patterns are created after schemes of real armies including the US, Russia, Germany, Belgium, as well as some World War 2 variants, and everything else in between. Have a look at the screenshots!

Color lookup tables are a very cool and easy way to quickly differentiate the visual style of your game, and the Game-Based LUT Pack is a great set of 25 lookup tables inspired by the industry's most popular video games. Check out the screenshots and imagine your game viewed through these different stylish looks!
